[QUOTE="Sage Exotics, post: 135157, member: 27797"] There are supposedly captive breeders out there, but I’m very sceptical. The zoea are fully aquatic and feed on a variety of micro organisms and algae that live in the ocean, they’re very delicate and vulnerable during this stage so many die off. If doubt you could recreate the ocean with all the micro organisms they need to eat, I’ve tried figuring out what exactly they eat but it appears nobody even knows. I’d say captive bred hermies are a scam. But yes they’re probably the hardest animal to keep that I keep, but I still enjoy them. I think people should try to give them more complex habitats, too, since they’re wild caught, I think it would be very beneficial to give them a large natural tank. [/QUOTE]
